High Stakes Publishing

High Stakes is part of Oldcastle Books Ltd group who have published gambling related books since the late eighties and also publish Crime Fiction under the No Exit Press imprint and small 96pp reference guides to a variety of subjects (principally film related) under the Pocket Essentials imprint.

We were often asked to obtain other gambling books and when the loft at the original offices of Oldcastle Books began to creak with the weight of books stored there, we opened the retail outlet in Great Ormond Street in November 1998. The present manager is Malcolm Boyle who is also Sporting Life's placepot expert.

In the Spring of 2002, High Stakes Publishing was formed to significantly increase our publishing output of UK orientated gambling books to overcome the woeful lack of UK based gambling material.
